I have the screwdriver set but they are too long for some of the screws near the seat base on the 41.

I ordered mine out of the Snap-On truck. | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 124 'Bolter | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 124 | i got a set of 75+ bits that included clutch drive, torx and a few other wierd styles from my local auto parts store. they came in a nice case and are the type that you swap in and out of a driver handle. i dont remember the price but it was in the $25 range. they are not snap on quality but i have yet to break one. | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,638 'Bolter | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,638 | Just bought my bits at the Pate Swap meet in Ft.

I also bought a couple clutch head screw drivers at NAPA, but are not as handy as the bits. They are also way more expensive.
